Description

Explore Tamil artist Anushiya Sundaralingam's installation தப்பி ஓடு Tappi Odu (Flee) in the Window on Our World gallery at the Ulster Museum.

Tappi Odu (Flee), is a new art installation by Tamil artist Anushiya Sundaralingam. The installation explores the collective experiences of Tamil communities and diaspora populations. Nearly three million Sri Lankans live abroad, and one in eight have been forced to leave their homeland. Tappi Odu (Flee) is a testament to those who had to flee, reconnecting Tamil people through a visual narrative of movement and survival.

The installation features images of footprints from countries across the globe. The footprints symbolise how lives uprooted from Sri Lanka have been re-established in different parts of the world. In this work, literal and metaphorical footprints become a symbol of migration, history, and the pursuit of new life. Anushiya Sundaralingam's work aims to evoke the deep emotional weight of walking away from one’s home and the search for new ground. Visitors are invited to take part in a communal piece, where they can leave their own footprints—bare, vulnerable, as a symbol of the universal experience of displacement.
